HOCATT Therapy

The term “HOCATT” stands for “Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology.” It’s a type of therapy that combines several holistic and natural treatments to support overall health and well-being.

The HOCATT device consists of a sauna-like enclosure where a person sits or lies down comfortably while various therapeutic modalities are administered simultaneously or sequentially. These modalities can include:

1. Hyperthermia: The HOCATT uses a controlled heating system to raise the body’s temperature. This is believed to stimulate circulation, promote detoxification, and potentially support the immune system.

2. Ozone Therapy: Ozone gas is introduced into the HOCATT chamber, and the person inhales it or receives it through the skin. Ozone therapy is thought to have various health benefits, including improving oxygenation, reducing inflammation, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

3. Carbonic Acid: Carbonic acid, in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), can be infused into the HOCATT chamber. It’s believed to help improve circulation, relax the muscles, and potentially aid in pain management.

4. Steam Therapy: Some HOCATT devices offer steam therapy, which can have a relaxing and detoxifying effect on the body.

5. Far Infrared Therapy: Infrared light is used to gently heat the body, which may help with relaxation, pain relief, and detoxification.

The combination of these therapies in a single HOCATT session is intended to provide a holistic approach to wellness, promoting relaxation, detoxification, improved circulation, and potentially supporting various health goals.

Each session lasts for 30 minutes. During the initial 3-8 minutes of each session, carbon dioxide is gently introduced into the chamber. Steam is concurrently released to moisturize the skin, resulting in the formation of carbonic acid. This carbonic acid is absorbed through the pores and enters the lymphatic system. Carbonic acid is unique in its ability to enhance the uptake and delivery of oxygen at the cellular level. As a result, blood vessels and capillaries expand, increasing blood circulation by up to 25%.

Following the completion of the carbon dioxide cycle, the ozone cycle commences. When ozone interacts with the steam, it produces hydrogen peroxide, which plays a vital role in combating bacterial and yeast/fungal infections. At the conclusion of the session, all ozone and oxygen-infused steam are meticulously extracted into the ozone destructor. The outcome is a noticeably reduced presence of pathogens, leaving you feeling revitalized and in better health.

Detoxification: HOCATT therapy promotes detoxification by inducing sweating. Sweating can help eliminate toxins and waste products from the body, potentially supporting overall detoxification processes.

Improved Circulation: The combination of hyperthermia, carbonic acid, and ozone therapy may stimulate blood circulation. Improved circulation can benefit various bodily functions, including oxygen delivery to tissues and removal of metabolic waste.

Immune System Support: Ozone therapy is thought to enhance the immune system by increasing oxygenation of tissues and potentially modulating immune responses.

Pain Relief: Some individuals report temporary pain relief after HOCATT sessions. The heat, steam, and carbonic acid may help relax muscles and alleviate discomfort.

Stress Reduction: The heat and steam components of HOCATT therapy can promote relaxation and reduce stress, which may have positive effects on mental well-being.

Improved Skin Health: Some people claim that HOCATT therapy can improve skin health by promoting circulation and detoxification, potentially leading to a clearer complexion.

Weight Management: HOCATT therapy is sometimes marketed as a weight management tool due to its potential for calorie burning through sweating and increased metabolic activity during hyperthermia.

Pain Reduction in Chronic Conditions: Individuals with chronic conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia may find temporary relief from pain and stiffness after HOCATT sessions.

Enhanced Oxygenation: Ozone therapy is believed to improve oxygen uptake by the body’s cells, potentially enhancing energy levels and overall vitality.

1. Hydrate! Drinking water helps support the body’s natural detoxification process
2. Do not come tired or hungry
3. Avoid eating a heavy metal
4. Have a light snack
5. Remove jewelry or metal
6. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing

In the privacy of a changing room, you remove all articles of clothing and wrap yourself in a towel. You are then assisted into the HOCATTTM chamber where you sit back comfortably on the seat, which can be adjusted for your height. The chamber doors are then closed to cover your body, while your head remains outside of the chamber. You may then open up your towel.

A neck blanket or towel is placed around your neck to ensure that none of the steam escapes from the chamber onto your face. A nasal cannula (or special oxygen jet) will be placed around your neck to provide pure humidified oxygen for you to breathe in – this is to ensure enhanced oxygen saturation in the blood, and also provides a passive exercise with pure oxygen breathing effect.

During the session, steam and far infrared rays (FIR) heat up the body with the intention of raising the core body temperature to rapidly induce an artificial fever. All bodily processes are enhanced at higher temperatures, including the

production of hormones and enzymes. Keeping the body in a constant regenerative state helps the body to heal, and to stay healthy and energized. The heat also dilates the pores and enhances circulation, and this is further

potentiated by the carbonic acid. The FIR rays penetrate deeply into the skin and subcutaneous tissue, relieving joint and muscle aches/pain and promoting the chelation of heavy metals from the body.

PEMF (pulsed electro-magentic field) Therapy can be used throughout the session. It uses magnetic fields to significantly reduce pain and boost energy, which accelerates healing and regeneration. Special Electrotherapy programs may also be selected to stimulate the muscles, nervous system and cells through foot electrode pads and/or hand held electrodes. Electrotherapy works with frequency specific micro-currents that focus on the specific health issue (e.g. Lyme Disease, Candida, etc) of the selected program.

Full spectrum colored light rays also fill the chamber and are absorbed by the skin as they reflect from the steam and the ultra-reflective chamber walls. HOCATTTM uses all colors of the spectrum, from soothing and relaxing to balancing and energizing. You may ask for essential oils or leaves to be added

to the steam jet. If you are physically able, you may also opt to do some seated

exercises to increase calorie burning during your session.

For the first 3-8 minutes of the session, CO2 enters the chamber and is converted into carbonic acid (CA) as it reacts with the steam. The CA and steam irrigate the skin, and enter through the pores into the blood stream and lymph system. It

also dilates the capillaries and the blood vessels, increasing blood circulation throughout the entire body by up to 25%. This also draws more blood to the surface of the skin, which enhances the effects of the transdermal ozone. The CA sedates the central nervous system and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, relieving tension and stress in the spine and muscles. CA is one of very few compounds that naturally, and without any side effects, increases the uptake and delivery of oxygen at cellular level.

After the CA cycle is finished, the ozone cycle starts, and continues for the rest of the session. The ozone reacts with the H2O (steam) to form sterilizing H2O2 on the surface of the skin. The H2O2 is partially absorbed through the dilated pores and enters into the blood stream and lymph system. One of the main advantages of Ozone is that it stimulates the body’s natural anti-oxidant system, and boosts energy down to cellular level. It also inactivates viruses, and eliminates bacterial and yeast/fungal infections. Because of the carbonic acid pre-cycle, the absorption of H2O2 is enhanced up to 2x as much compared to normal ozone saunas. During this stage you may also elect to use a catheter for vaginal insufflation, or funnels for cupping (e.g. breast cupping).

At the end of the session, the entire volume of the ozone and oxygen steam mixture is extracted into the external ozone destructor, in order to prevent it from releasing into the room when the doors open. You may then cover yourself with your towel once again. The nasal oxygen cannula and neck blanket / towel will be removed, and then the chamber doors will be opened. When you are ready to stand up, you will be assisted out of the chamber.
